Scisoft 8 - An Astronomical Software Collection - now for Fedora 20

Scisoft is a project within ESO to provide a collection of astronomical software utilities in
a uniform way at all ESO sites and to make them available to the outside world. The
current version, Scisoft 8, December 2014, is only available for 64-bit Fedora 20 Linux. The
previous major release, Scisoft v7.7, was for
Fedora Core 11, Scisoft v6 was available for Fedora 3, and
earlier versions are also available for Solaris 8,
Linux Redhat 6.2 and HP-UX 11. In addition a version of Scisoft
for Mac OSX has been prepared by Nor Pirzkal and Francesco Pierfederici but it is not an ESO product.

Scisoft 8

Scisoft 8 was built on Fedora Core 20 and depends on Fedora specific packages. It is possible to
install Scisoft on Scientific Linux, see this page for more details.
If you managed to install an run Scisoft on an other Linux distribution please contact us and we will update this page.

Note that only requests from China or India, to be delivered in the respective countries, are
accepted by the mirror sites.
We would like to thank Chenzhou Cui of the National
Astronomical Observatory,
Chinese Academy of Sciences, for his help and enthusiasm for the Chinese
mirror and similarly Ajit Kembhavi and Deoyani Nandrekar for setting up the Indian mirror.
Randy Thompson and Rick White proposed and set up the US mirror at STScI.
In addition Lars Christensen helped with copying the DVDs and setting up the
web shop. If none of these options will be possible for you please
send email to scihelp(AT)eso.org.
